Yes, both have Brembo 4-piston calipers and 14" rotors. I believe the Camaro does have better rear brakes, however, than the GT500, but that has always confused me. According to the Camaro literature, the SS has 14.4" rear rotors and 4-piston rear calipers, but if the front brakes bear the majority of the load when braking, I'm not sure why they would have larger rear brakes than front brakes.
